Robbins: Celebrating the rich legacy of ‘the giving Irish’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:26:40 GMT

The phrase “fighting Irish” did not originate with Notre Dame’s football team, but with the Irish immigrant soldiers who fought for the Union during the Civil War. It was Confederate General Robert E. Lee himself who is said to have coined the term, a testament to the bravery and effectiveness of the so-called “Irish brigades” that helped save their new nation.When Irish statesman Eamon de Valera came to America in 1919 to generate support for the Irish cause, he naturally came first to Boston. There he told a huge rally in Fenway Park what the phrase meant. “What we actually mean when we talk about it,” he explained, “is an indomitable spirit, a commitment, never tentative, always fully committed, to life itself…..that’s really the spirit of ‘the Fighting Irish.”Ireland’s magic is plain to anyone who visits the Emerald Isle, but it is hardly the country’s physical beauty alone that furnishes the magic. Since time immemorial the Irish have been gifted at community – at nurturing and...

DARIEN, Ga. (AP) — Descendants of enslaved people living on a Georgia island are watching anxiously Monday evening as county commissioners consider doubling the maximum size of houses that can be built in their tiny community of modest homes and dirt roads.Black residents of the Hogg Hummock community on Sapelo Island sat mostly silent as McIntosh County commissioners scheduled a Tuesday vote on the proposal.

California lawmakers vote to end travel ban to states with anti-LGBTQ+ laws

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:26:40 GMT

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California may soon lift a ban on state-funded travel to states with anti-LGBTQ+ laws and instead focus on an advertising campaign to bring anti-discrimination messages to red states.California started banning official travel to states with laws it deemed discriminatory against LGBTQ+ people in 2017, starting with Kansas, Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee. Since then, the list has grown to include a total of 26 states, most of them Republican-led, following a surge of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation these past few years. The prohibition has prevented elected officials, state workers and university scholars from traveling to more than half of the country using the state’s money. That has posed a significant challenge to sports teams at public colleges and universities, which have had to find alternative funding sources to pay for their road games in states like Arizona and Utah. It has also complicated some of the state’s other policy goals, like using...
